Bi-direction effects between microbiome and MiRNAs in carcinogenesis

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 2021 May;147(5):1299-1305. doi: 10.1007/s00432-021-03567-w. Epub 2021 Mar 25.

Abstract

There is evidence from numerous studies that dysbiosis of the microbiome provokes various immune-mediated diseases, obesity, diabetes, and cancers by regulating metabolites, host genetics, environmental elements, and stress. Such reports are yet to define an accurate regulatory network for host-gut microbiome communication. miRNAs have recently emerged as crucial mediators of this communication, as portrayed by their interaction with the host microbiome. This mini-review summarizes the bi-direction effects between miRNA and microbiome and elucidates their role in carcinogenesis. An in-depth understanding of the association of miRNA with host-microbiome could be valuable to improve cancer remission, diagnosis, and treatment, and may help to potential tumor markers.

Keywords: Bi-direction; Carcinogenesis; Microbiome; miRNAs.
